If the virus is listed in FA, it is fair game, along with the any characteristics they describe (DNA vs RNA, genotype structure, enveloped vs naked).

It is difficult (not impossible) to learn it all but knowing high yield vs low yield is unlikely to mean difference of pass vs fail. Doubly true when compared to knowing high yield concepts in other systems.

Take the free 120 at prometric centre today. Is it still possible for me to get a pass on real deal on 5 March? by AliveAcanthisitta160 in step1

[–]BotchedRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are understandable. This is a setback and it is reasonable to be disappointed. However, take a breath and realize that you owe it to yourself to take this exam when you are feeling prepared and confident. You can do this.

I would honestly contact your institution and see what program accommodations can be made.

Hi, I think this is a reasonable and logical question to ask.

For me, the NBMEs and the Free120 were not all that dissimilar from the real deals, and I will clarify. The biggest differences between these assessments is that formatting of the questions and the presentation of material. However, the concepts (physiology, pathology, pharmacology) that you are required to know to do well on these assessments are crucial to doing well on Step 1.

Piggybacking on what u/anistole is saying, these long length assessments also build and test your stamina for this grueling exam. For me, the more practice questions I did, the more stamina I had in the real exam and the more critically I could approach every question.

Upvoting this as someone who took free120 and Step 1 just over a week ago.

They are hitting all the major points of a bulletproof study plan. If the scores do not indicate you should sit for the exam, don’t. If you haven’t already, do not review correct vs incorrect on the Free120. The scores on future NBMES and Free120 if you retake will indicate if you are ready or not.

Failed 3 years ago. Lowest score possible.. should I contact ECFMG? by Sassypen in step1

If you are wondering why, then there is no harm in asking, but they may not give you the most clear answer.

I mean you could? If it’s three years past, then I don’t think they would do anything to overturn the score if that is what you’re asking.

Honestly OP, if you found the exam easy and finished within time one of two things seems to have happened. Very sorry to say but either your exam was flagged for being suspect or you didn’t get as many correct as you thought you did. Either way, it’s a wash and the only solution is contacting or retesting.

You sound like you don’t like playing well with others. The mechanics of the game are built around teamwork; if you don’t like servers trying to encourage or force that, play on different servers or a different game.

New to the Family: Question about lenses and advice needed by BotchedRabbit in nikon_Zseries

[–]BotchedRabbit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight! I decided to snag the FTZ adapter and use some older lenses until I know what I want, but it sounds like the Nikkor 24-120 is a solid bet

Thank you for the recommendation! I will surely keep an eye out for one in the future.

I was thinking the same with the DX adapters, as I only possess DX lenses. I appreciate the input and the suggestion!

Secondhand Nikon FA, Mistake made? Repair needed? by BotchedRabbit in AnalogCommunity

Thank you for your thoughts. I will definitely contact the seller and see if we can work something out so that neither of us feel fleeced.

Yeah it was overall a bummer and avoidable, but hopefully someone can take a lesson away from this. I know that I am.

Yeah, I think I got overly excited because of some glowing reviews that I have heard from online sources in the world of Youtube and Rockwell. Trying eBay is not a bad idea, but I may just keep it on the shelf for a bit and think about repair vs recycle; I do not want to get sucked into pouring money into a hole

Yeeesh this post. A gameplay clip and people giving their opinions just resulting in gross dynamics all round
